Futures now entwining

Hard to believe that in just over 8 months, Ryan and I will have been together for 2 years!  Crazy huh?  He is everything that I could ever need.  He is my rock, my pillow, my ear, my shoulder to cry on, my best friend, And now he has a new title.  Fiance. Yes, Fiance.  He proposed to me the week before we left for my friend Dawn's wedding.  It was simple, just us at home.  We had talked about it since we were now living together. It was a Monday night.  The ring is a square cut diamond with 2 smaller stones flanking the sides with a woven 2 strand band.  In silver of course.

We have talked about an April wedding in 2015.  Official date up in the air tho I think we will be going with the 11th.  Nevada in the spring can be beautiful.  Can be miserable too! hahahaha! So gotta plan for that case.

Plans are already in the works.  Well at least with me.  I have a dress picked out, tho not yet purchased.  Minister is already agreed to do the ceremony, colors picked out, flowers already in discussion.  Things not yet really worked out is guest list, locations, arrangements, photographer, and invites.  You know, the little things. (laughs)  So if anyone knows of a good, inexpensive photographer, let me know! Bahahaha!

It is short, but not much to discuss right now.  Next post, I will post a photo of the beautiful shiny that I now sport daily!


[Spring is] when life's alive in everything.
Christina Rossetti (1830 - 1894)

In the spring time, the only pretty ring time, when birds do sing... sweet lovers love the spring.
William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616), As You Like It, Act V, sc. 3

To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides.
David Viscott, How to Live with Another Person, 1974

A kiss is a lovely trick, designed by nature, to stop words when speech becomes unnecessary.
Ingrid Bergman (1915 - 1982)

30: month one

It has been almost one month since I turned the dirty 30 as people say.  This Saturday my dear friend Erin is getting married and I am still dateless for the celebration.  Its looking more and more like I might be taking my mother to the wedding.  *sigh*  Unless I man up and just ask someone.  Well one someone in particular.  I'm really considering my friend John.  He's funny, a blast to hang out with, and pretty easy on the eyes. *insert chuckle here*  Sadly I don't know why I'm so afraid to ask him.  He's a great person, even if he couldn't go, I can say I tried right?  Then I'm also back at square one... What to do what to do....  Tho this is to be a happy time, I'm a bit sad...I kinda wish it was me... I'd love to be getting married, starting my family, a new life with my husband...but alas it is not in my cards for the time being.  I will put on my happy face, celebrate with the happy newlyweds, and toast to new beginnings!
